Transcript
00:00We as judges, because it's our last time in the Clauditorium, yes, it is, with the gorgeous Claudia and the gorgeous Tess here as well.
00:09And we just want to tell you both how much we're going to miss you, how much we totally and utterly love you to bits.
00:18I mean, we've been working together since It Takes Two.
00:21We've been on the show for 21 years, darling, looking fabulous.
00:25But we just want you to know, I certainly, personally, want to say thank you, Claude, for the dressers you've thrown my way and the shoes.
00:33And Tess, for the pizza parties in your dressing room, thin crust, of course, always.
00:39And pineapple.
00:40We really, really love you both. We really do. And we've got a little surprise for you, a little B.T., darling.
00:48Is it Dava?
00:50Where do I start with Tess and Claudia?
01:02Year one, Bruce and Tess were there delivering this brand new show.
01:08So nice to be working with you, Tess.
01:10Bruce, well, I'm so excited to be working with you.
01:12That was the first day in 2004.
01:15I enjoyed it. Well done.
01:16She started the show pregnant and she's done it all the way to 2025, having raised a remarkable family.
01:24And we'll be back here same time, same place next week.
01:28It's a live show.
01:30And she's as on it as you could possibly be.
01:33What I loved about Claude's on It Takes Two was the fact that she was just so kooky and wild.
01:39Do you not think a bit of encouragement? You know, like when you're doing maths?
01:43Only, only if it...
01:44And they go, good for you, for adding.
01:46Claudia.
01:47The ball's in the spring.
01:48Always, always with Ellie.
01:49She's so quick and spontaneous. She can make anything out of anything.
01:53Don't mind me.
01:54Yes.
01:55You're having a problem with your flinkle, frinkle?
01:57Flickle.
01:58Between the two of them, they are magic.
02:02Two lovely young ladies who will be hosting the show from now on.
02:06I wish them all the luck in the world.
02:09All we hope is that we don't let you down.
02:11Oh, you won't.
02:12Are you ready?
02:13To be honest, I don't think so.
02:15No, you know I love you, but are you sure you can do this?
02:18It could get my feet just to warn you.
02:20Yeah, I'm ready.
02:22Tess and Claudia together, I think, are a power couple.
02:25And they sort of go together like Lauren and Harvey.
02:29Look adorable.
02:30Has been keeping in touch with us all.
02:32I'm in love with her. Continue.
02:33So do you.
02:34Just enjoy the props.
02:39Sorry, they're on his own teeth.
02:40Just clarify that.
02:41My feet!
02:45They're not safe?
02:46No!
02:47In honour of Coldplay, I thought we should get out our very own audience cam.
02:52I love you.
02:54I do!
02:57Ooh!
02:58Halloween's next week.
02:59Oh.

03:04After all these years, 20 years, and neither of them just learnt a step of dancing.
03:08Yeah.
03:09Yeah.
03:10I know I can count on you.
03:13Tess and Claude were the first people I met on Strigley Come Dancing, and they were just so welcoming.
